Technique Tuesday!
I used 22 gauge Artistic Wire to wire these up. Cut a piece that’s longer than you think you’ll need to wrap your first bead. I started with a 10 inch piece, and found that I only needed a bit over 8 inches. It’s better to have a bit too much than to end up short! The size of your bead will determine the length you need, so I really can’t tell you about this one. You’ll also need 2 sets of lightweight beads (mine are recycled lucite), two small round gold beads, and ear wires, whatever style you like. The tools you’ll need are the standards: wire cutters, flat nose pliers, and round nose pliers.
These are really cute earrings! You could make a pair for every outfit…
Ah, Kelly…you think the same way I do
